San Francisco-based artist and LGBT activist Gilbert Baker, the man who first gave the world the iconic LGBT rainbow flag in 1978, has died at the age of 65. His longtime friend and author of “When We Rise: My Life in the Movement,” Cleve Jones, made the announcement via his twitter account yesterday. Jones […]
I gotz to admit that I dragged my ass to the pop-up free Elton John concert that took place today on the parking lot of the “historically significant” Tower Records building on the Rock-N-Roll side of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. I told myself I was there mostly as a reporter, because this event is […]
Here’s a Throwback Thursday / Flashback Friday to the time I graced the cover of a The Fight Magazine exactly 5 years ago this month. Yep, I was on the cover of issue #01. In that first issue, I wrote about being sober back when I had a whole four years of continuous sobriety. Now […]
This year for Halloween, I decided to dress up as a (slightly slutty) matador, which may or may not had been inspired by M’s Living for Love video (moving along). As far as my friends were concerned, I might as well had dressed up as a mariachi or a Mexican folk dancer–meaning a bull fighter […]
It was a gay who’s who and who wore what at Los Angeles The Forum, when Madonna brought her Rebel Heart Tour to the city of Angels for one night only on Wednesday, October 27. The big M dusted off some of her old classic hits like “True Blue,” and “Who’s That Girl,” which she […]
Madonna’s Truth or Dare documentary will be magnified on the big screen this Monday July 13, for the 2015 Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival, as part of the Legacy Project 10th Anniversary Series. The last time I saw Madonna's Truth or Dare documentary in the big screen was back in 1991, during the tail […]
I downloaded the gay insta-hookup app Grindr into my phone to enter their Madonna #LivingForLove Sweepstakes, which promised five lucky fans a chance to win a chat with M on Grindr and also receive an autographed copy of M’s latest album Rebel Heart. The contest rules were simple enough. All I had to do […]
Below is an article I wrote about my fascination with that diva kid (or is it kid diva?) Brendan Jordan, which was published in The Final Fight section of The Fight Magazine last month. I wasn’t going to, but I decided to share. Luv, Me === THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT Whatever the future […]
The West Hollywood Halloween Carnival crept up on me this year. A week into it, and my ass did not have a costume idea—at least not one that was cohesive with costumes I have done in the past–meaning something that was half-naked for a kicky-guy-on-a-Halloween-stroll-from-the-word-go. I thought about doing a sexy shower getup with plastic […]
Below is a personal ditty I wrote about being on the receiving end of an amends. It was like… Opposite Day. I’ve written about this before with not much closure until this point. The article was published in the latest issue of The Fight Magazine. Luv, Me === MAKING AMENDS Amending my past behavior has […]
